Twitter?s Mobile Site Now Uses One-Third Less Bandwidth

Twitter just announced an update to its mobile site that is meant to bring it up to par with the new version of Twitter the company introduced in December. According to Twitter, the idea behind this update is to "give every person on the planet a consistent Twitter experience." Because of this, the company says, the new version of the mobile site now uses one-third less bandwidth than the previous iteration and should work significantly better on feature phones, older browsers and low-bandwith connections.

Siri Gets Racist in iPhone Ad Parody

Looks like there may be a few bugs in the newest version of the iOS.

People have complained that Siri rarely does what you actually want and that she can have a difficult time with nuances of different languages.

We had no idea Siri was a closet racist, however, until just now.

In a parody from Funny or Die, the virtual iPhone assistant offers advice to an African-American gentleman based solely on racial stereotypes.

Racist Siri

This is the second funniest spoof on the iPhone after last winter's nuclear marital Siri argument. When in doubt ... call your parole officer.

Other than that ... swag, swag, swag, swag, swag.

Intel's PCI-E 910-Series SSD reviewed: blazing fast, even under pressure

Intel's not one to mess around when it storms a new market, and its jump into enterprise-level PCI Express SSD seemed no exception. Now, a full review by Hot Hardware of its 400GB ($1,929) and 800GB ($3,859) 910-series confirms that while not as stupid-fast as some, the 2 GB/s read and 1 GB/s write speeds are still sublime. On top of that, throughput holds steady even when the device is besieged by thousands of IO demands. A lack of bootability and on-board RAID were complaints, but these SSDs are intended for datacenters, not your gaming PC. And for its target market, the lowish $4.82 price per GB and chart-topping 14 Petabyte max endurance are also endearing qualities. Given its history of SSD reliability, Intel is bound to draw a crowd of corporate admirers to its 910 series -- even though it's fashionably late to the boardroom.
